NEW Ferrari 812 GTS With INCREDIBLE Novitec Exhaust! First Drive Review

[@RustiekeRakker]

Let's be real, Novitec's exhaust systems are straight from heaven. I've seen so many video's with Ferrari v12's with Novitec systems but it never gets boring, what a sound!

[@oscarsambo9981]

Novitec exhaust are too much of not being real. Ferrari sound exhaust is perfect why ruin it? You have no taste nor class

[@isaactaylor-wilson8832]

Is it me or did james' voice get higher in pitch when he went out for a spin?? Ended sounding like a racing commentary from the 50's

[@davidmusil4145]

I think he´s got a different microphone

[@Rodrigoxki]

Ahahaha yes! Sounds like he's slightly on helium

[@peetje28021970]

He left in a hurry, forgot his balls at home.

[@pad3357]

So glad someone else noticed, sounds a bit like James blunt.

[@mac5917]

He might have a setting on to pick up the ”high” sound of this perticular car, and this leads to it also focusing on the higher Tones from his own voice?

[@erichakanson7010]

In the age of hybrid/electric vehicles and everything else having turbo's, I'm so very thankful for the glorious, front engine 12 cylinder Ferrari. The day this car rolled out of Maranello, it instantly became a legend in style, performance and most of all....sound! Thank you James for this automotive symphony!

[@ardcanaytking838]

mid-front. Engine sits behind the wheels

[@SenszR]

@@ardcanaytking838 yea so front engined

[@patrickk.8155]

@@SenszR No, front is not correct if you are picky.

[@SenszR]

@@patrickk.8155 Then neither is mid when referring to V8 Ferraris

[@patrickk.8155]

@@SenszR No, mid is correct. The location within the car does not matter. The location of an engine is described solely by where it sits from the axles. In this case it is between both axles. Either front-/rear is an extra to middle but not necessary. So mid is correct and front-mid is perfect.

[@nfareview]

The 812 GTS will go down as one of the greats. It will be propped up right next to the 458 Italia as the best the world had to offer for ICE vehicles. The soul of those two cars cannot be matched.

[@DoWorkExotics]

And never will again. Completely agree.

[@paulthomson9709]

I dont know why but I just can't seem to like the 812 , same with all current ferraris .

[@nfareview]

@@paulthomson9709 Go drive one. The rear wheel steering makes it shrink around you. Amazing car. The F12 is still a great second hand buy though.

[@JeepCherokeeful]

@@dinodatrindade2104 no, it’s the mentality of “loving” the newest, most current Ferrari;) and not even having owned a single vehicle from the brand. This channel actually caters to such individuals. I just came to hear another V12.

[@dinodatrindade2104]

@@JeepCherokeeful oh so one needs to have owned a Ferrari in order to appreciate its sound and aesthetics? You do realise very few people are afforded the luxury to even sit in one let alone drive it.

[@JeepCherokeeful]

@@dinodatrindade2104 no, I’m just stating my opinion;) Fortunately I live in America, where classic American automotive icons are still relatively affordable to buy and maintain. And still legal to register. My state has a cheap one time license plate fee for cars over 25 years old. For a fraction of the cost of a new Ferrari one will turn more heads and you could daily it all year, south of the snow belt of course.

[@dereklau9362]

That exhaust note 😍😍😍

[@theironsmith1]

Any car company might make the fastest cars on Earth... They might make the best looking cars of all time... But NO ONE, and I repeat, NO ONE... Can make a V12 engine sound as beautiful as that of a Ferrari.

[@johnmitchell2269]

Naturally aspirated Ferrari V12. The pinnacle of the automotive industry. It's not about having over 1000hp with huge wings everywhere. This is the best luxury grand tourer with supercar performance. Smooth as silk, fast in the best way fast can be, godly spiritual sounds that enrich the soul body and mind.

[@medilyesoudhini7411]

[@MrBabadude]

Mr. JWW should be a car salesman. Every time he gives a review I want the car. Remember his review of the 675 LT? I saw plenty of other reviews for that car but he made it exciting.

[@advancedfaces]

The Novitec system, which part? Down pipes, sport cat? No cat? X-pipe? I have a SF, how does the stock GTS sound with GPF compare to non GPF SF?

[@nerowolf8006]

Was looking for quality 812 GTS content just last night and unfortunately there wasn't much out there. Your video is fantastic. Aside from the rare stuff like your tdf or the 599 Aperta, i think the 812 GTS is the best modern v12 Ferrari. Would be a dream to own one before the world fully goes electric

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Very well done! Your words are on point with this car. I love the looks and the sound of this 812 GTS. Definitely an improvement over the Superfast. This kind of driving theater will never be possible in an electric vehicle. I'm just sad I am not in a position right now to be able to get this car which is why I value your video even more because it allows me to get a taste of what this car has to offer. Again, job well done and I am glad I subscribed!

[@tutelarius]

In 2002 I was invited to a TVR hospitality event in Newmarket - they brought a Tuscan, T400R + T350, took the rear windows out for sound + brought racing drivers to take guests for rides. Sounded epic, was genius! The Speed 12 was there on display, without engine (!).

[@soupistasty5]

Want to have 110% more fun with each MrJWW video? Pour a drink of your fav liquor n' have the bottle handy. Take a sip the minute you hear any variation of hear: 'spot of context', 'gearbox snob', 'twin clutch', 'fundamentally', any variation of 'ear holes'/ 'smile glands'/ 'smiles per gallon' (8:20 9:15) or 'the camera isn't doing it justice' (14:36). I'm always smiling after watching the hard work of James & the boys from The Bunker... the drinks just make it wider.

[@ShashankB94]

That portal of v12 noise..all wind noise filtered away and only the scream of the exhaust hitting the back of your head. Heavenly

[@martin4819]

I don’t know why I watch these videos because I’ll never own a Ferrari but I certainly appreciate such a beautiful car and the sound of a naturally aspirated engine, V12 at that! I’m 51 and have a few bikes and still love the scream of an in-line 4, the brrrruuppp of a two cylinder off road bike and the thump of a Harley. It will be a sad day when kids grow up not even knowing what they are missing.

[@glennbazan8386]

In my opinion Ferrari with the last 10 years models (V8 NA, V8 Turbo and V12) are positioning themselves as the real benchmark for a real Supercar, not only with horsepower but with the entire performance, looks and technology and I mean, their sound are the best in the market, just pure F1 sound on their N/A models. Just simply AMAZING!

Hello From Lake Tahoe California James. Yeah my nextdoor neighbor has the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso Novitec N-Largo Edition in his garage lucky for us he can push key fob button and it shuts the valve off so it's little bit quieter than having the valves open.🤯😳😴

[@mannski7269]

Thanks James for the video. Made my Sunday mate. To see these cars in person must be something to behold, but my goodness your content comes darn close, feel like I am there. Noticed that it does not have Michelin tires, did you notice much of a difference running on the Pirellis? Though I bet you would rather be in your TDF?

[@MrJWW]

Not the best rubber in the cold and they welcome some heat in them before they find their operating window. TDF was the same until I fitted PS4S and things are more confident at lower temps before you warm it up. Also better water displacement 👍🏻

[@Slimkoification]
